n00b here! Hi!
 
Wow this is strange! I've been a BMW owner for the past 6 years. Before that I owned two 84 Rx7's (one auto, one 5 spd) and a b2200. Last year we purchased a mazda 3 for the wife. This year I traded in the 540 for a rx8 (last saturday). So far I'm loving the car and since the email activation wasn't working i've had plenty of time to poke around the site and read up on a lot of useful information.

What's the strangest part is that i was on bimmerforums.com for 4 years and it's weird to not be there as a bmw owner. I hope my new home will entertain me as much as my last one!

Anyhoo, my car:

2004 Titanium Gray
Gt package
Navi
6spd

So far i'm loving it, here's a few pics i took the other day.

Sorry bout the lighting, I was so excited that I didn't want to wait for the sun to cooperate!

Thanks! been reading a lot around here, found out some good info. Owned a couple rx7's and played with them quite a bit. My 84 5spd had 4 barrel built carb, RB intake, full exhaust (headers back sounded so nice), sport clutch, lightened flywheel, it was a hoot!

I miss that car...

It seems that right now bringing out the potential is an oxy moron.... hopefully in a years time there will be more aftermarket support... until then i'll drive it and enjoy it like this :D
